Yeah, there was a huge birthsplosion here in '79 because there were crazy power cuts in the winter of '78. What else ya gonna do in the cold dark non-electric winters 'cept shag it out? This was the focus of at least one high school geography class in the late '90s.

Lots of inductions and caesareans are scheduled for before or just after Christmas and any other holiday, which would explain the low numbers around Christmas - Christmas is special because it is always the same date. Also the July 4-5 blip.

One of my kids was born on Good Friday in a very Catholic town. When I went into the hospital on Thursday night the maternity wing was full and the next day was almost empty.

before looking at the chart i would have said uncommon as i only know one other person with my birthday (10/6) and im usually the only October baby i know. most people i know are all clustered in June and July but this chart says my bday is relatively common.

where are you 10/6 babies?!?!? ive never met you!

if my baby is actually born on its due date (5/2) it will be rather uncommon. i guess that makes me weird.

i'm pretty uncommon. my sister's birthday is november 14th (9 months after valentine's day!), but it's not super common. i guess that proves that kay jewelers are the only ones who actually care about valentines.

I'm 10/10 if that counts :) I have a friend who is 10/6 though.

I'm 10/7!

I am 10/4 and my boss is 10/5. Also, three of my employees have October birthdays, but I can't remember if any of them are 10/6.

yeah it seems the colors on the chart are not directly related to number of birthdays on each day. The # of births on each date was just ranked 1-365 and then assigned shades descending from black to grey. If you look at the data at the link, all dates are really quite similar in # of births... which makes sense.

If you were born on July 1 or October 1, just say you were born on June 31, or September 31 and that way you can be really uncommon! And March 1 or 2s were born on February 30 and 31. And so on. And if you're birthday's February 19 your birthday can really be, like, January 50th, if you want. Woo hoo! Take that, astrologers. We'll need some new horoscopes.
